Hi Guys, I have a problem with a weeping flowering cherry tree. The bark is peeling on the trunk from where the branches begin to spread out down to almost ground level in several spots. There seems to be a vein where the bark has split. Another split seems to be occuring on the opposite side. The vein is just becoming evident near the top of the split. You can also notice a bulge running up and down where this vein seems to be growing under the bark. Is their any way to stop the bark from peeling back? There is also some spots where sap is oozing, but these spots don't seem to be near the splitting. Where the bark is peeled back, it seems to be dry and dead.
I can provide a picture if that would help. The tree is very large and I would like to try to save it if possible. If not, I would like to remove it and plant another, but I would need to know if it is safe to plant a similar specimin in that location. Any ideas?
